To drive a Formula Renault single seater correctly requires a unique driving style and this requires an extensive understanding on how and why we adopt certain braking/throttle techniques. Race Studio is a Data Analysis program that allows us to record and overlay many different channels of data supplied to us via the car after each session on track. It’s essential to create the perfect data traces but also know what effect this has in the car and on the circuit. Matt carries out all his own analysis so it directly relates to what he visually sees on the track – this helps a driver’s understanding and ultimately trusting in what he’s been asked to do.

Race Technology is another type of Data Logging system and has all the main benefits of the Formula Renault program above. Matt teaches a slightly different style to his Ginetta Junior drivers as the car is very different to a single seater. Either way the analysis process is the same. In most situations Matt is in the passenger seat accumulating his own data from what he sees and feels from the car underneath him. In-car tuition is the fastest way to identify potential discrepancies but when it comes to the race weekend it all down to data and video analysis to get the best out of the driver.
